...Herter, Attorney General William Rogers and Vice President Nixon, all have gone on record favoring the repeal of the Connally Reservation. Arkansas' William Fulbright, committee chairman, is in favor too. But Democrat Fulbright hesitates to send the repealer to the Senate until he sees signs that he can muster the two-thirds vote necessary for repeal. His biggest problem, says he, is Republicans, and he has quietly passed the word to the Administration that he will not send the repealer to the Senate floor until he is assured that the Republican floor leader, Illinois' Everett Dirksen, will...
...Auditorium in Los Angeles to two banquet halls in Washington's Sheraton-Park Hotel for the biggest coast-to-coast dinner in U.S. history. In 43 states, more than 100,000 Republicans turned out for 83 fund-raising "dinners with Ike," at $24 to $100 a plate, to muster up $5,000,000 for the G.O.P. campaign treasury. All got the same no-frills bill of fare ("the kind of dinner that might have been served in a Kansas home around the turn of the century," as the menu put it): "Eisenhower vegetable soup," sliced beef, corn pudding, "homemade...

It regained momentum for the Kennedy bandwagon-which had slowed perceptibly since the birth-control issue (TIME, Dec. 7). And it marked Roman Catholic Kennedy's first major breach of the line that Catholic bosses of big states have thus far held against...
...Senate race, the G.O.P. so far seems able to muster only token opposition against him (three relative unknowns announced for the Republican primary), will concentrate instead on an effort to win back the statehouse (three announced, among them Attorney General Norman Erbe). A Methodist who would like to be Roman Catholic Jack Kennedy's vice presidential running mate, Loveless will probably have little to say about foreign affairs in his senatorial campaign, but much to say about the farm program; he wants a minimum farm income to match labor's minimum wage. This is a formula that...
...over the transgressions of others, said Estabrook, might well take a good look at their own: "Recently, the press became very exercised about morality when Charles Van Doren put on his show of contrition. But our indignation would be better founded, and more credible, if we also managed to muster a few olfactory shudders about the garbage in our own backyard. Better yet, we might even try to clean...
